The little cuckoo clock was ringing
Dad kissed my forehead
He said good night my little son
And he turned off my light
Hey cuckoo dad left (died)
Turn on the light
That I am afraid
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light
and turn off time
This love song
Goes to my dad
He ran off to the wind
He left us alone
This love song
Goes to my mom
That endured everything
It hurt her to the bones
That is why mom
Would cry in silence
She would cry at nights
And how she endured it in the mornings
Hey cuckoo dad left
Tun on the light
That I am afraid
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light
And turn off time
This love song
Goes to my siblings
That we grew up together
We missed him for years
This cry of love
I give to the heavens
I ask it so much
So much, so much, it answers nothing
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light
That I am afraid
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light
And turn off time
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light
How I miss him so
Hey cuckoo dad left
Turn on the light
